I had to buy new tires for my wife's car and had to put them on a credit card cause I can't afford the $1000+ (cars are a scam in itself and a tax for poor people), and my fucking score dropped 22 points cause I used the card for its intended purpose. I am not even using that much credit, only 23% of my limit, and I pay these fuckers off every month, double the minimum payment to escape the interest rates.
I remember 2 years ago I paid off a car and my score still went down. Why the fuck does it seem like everything in this society is designed to rip you off and fuck you over. Why do I feel like I can never get ahead. I fucking went to college and got a nice technical degree and I troubleshoot and repair medical devices for a living, I am a US Navy veteran, why the fuck am I still skirting the poverty line. I can barely pay my fucking bills. I have no money left over to save, literally everything goes to rent, bills, food, and gas to get to work. How the fuck do I escape this system.
